Biochemical composition and functional application of enzyme-assisted extracts ...

Enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) has recently gained attention for its effectiveness and eco-friendly manner of extracting valuable compounds, enhancing their nutritional value at a lower cost. Cannabis sativa L. is a widely distributed and one of the oldest plant species in the Cannabaceae family. However, the plant leaves have not been widely studied for their biochemical and functional applications. This stu...

Comprehensive multi-omics database for highly infectious viruses: a focus on HI...

Highly infectious viruses, such as HIV, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2, continue to pose significant threats to global health, underlining the urgent need for new therapeutic approaches. Recent advancements in genomic and proteomic databases, along with 3D homology modelling, have enabled detailed simulations of virus-host interactions, providing insights into infection mechanisms and helping identify potential therapeu...

A multi-omics and primer database for virus identification: Focus on HIV, Ebola...

Highly infectious viruses such as HIV, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2 have presented ongoing challenges to global health. Consequently, the optimization of rapid detection tests, including PCR, and the identification of new therapeutic targets remain of paramount importance. The development of genomic and proteomic databases like the HIV Oligonucleotide Database (HIVoligoDB), EbolaID, and CoV2ID has facilitated the accu...

Development and validation of a photograph-based instrument to assess nutrition...

Most instruments measuring nutrition literacy evaluate theoretical knowledge, not necessarily reflecting skills relevant to food choices. We aimed to develop and validate a photograph-based instrument to assess nutrition literacy (NUTLY) among adults in Portugal. NUTLY assesses the ability to distinguish foods with different nutritional profiles; from each of several combinations of three photographs (two foods...

Haute cuisine: A mixed-methods approach to assess gastronomic offer nutritional...

In recent years, a growing interest of society for out-of-home food experiences has been observed, concurrently with an increasing number of restaurants associated to haute cuisine. However, data on the nutritional adequacy of the meals offered in these restaurants is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of haute cuisine chefs in Portugal about the importance attributed to food and nutrition rec...

Teleconsultation in respiratory medicine - A position paper of the Portuguese P...

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis, among so many social, economic and health problems, also brought new opportunities. The potential of telemedicine to improve health outcomes had already been recognised in the last decades, but the pandemic crisis has accelerated the digital revolution. In 2020, a rapid increase in the use of remote consultations occurred due to the need to reduce attendance and overcrowding in out...

Development of a photograph-based instrument to assess nutrition literacy in Po...

Prevalence and clinical characteristics of late Onset Axial Spondyloarthritis: ...

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) typically starts before the fourth decade oflife. Consistent with that, the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)classification criteria for axSpA should be applied only in patients with chronic back pain startingbefore 45 years of age. It has, however, been suggested that axSpA can sometimes start later in lifewith a distinctive phenotype, the so-called ‘l...

Um Requiem pelas músicas que perdemos: percursos com paragens pelos impactos da...

Em Portugal o trabalho criativo em torno da popular music não tem sido objeto de um investimento científico atualizado. Essa situação é premente no que tange aos constrangimentos que se acentuaram na pandemia. Partindo de entrevistas semiestruturadas, este artigo mapeia desigualdades e impactos da COVID-19 no trabalho criativo de 40 músicos portugueses – fruto de uma investigação transnacional em curso, que env...
